FILM AND PANELL EVENT
A film by Vic Compher and Rodney Whittenberg
While “Angels and Saints—Eros and Awe” may seem to be a film about gender identity and sexuality—and it is—it is also about psychological, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. It is a film about people whom we call our “Angels and Saints” or our “modern messengers”, who have found a path to being their whole selves in body, mind, and spirit.
Angels and Saints—Eros and Awe addresses the psychic pain and damage that institutional religions and American culture in general have inflicted by teaching that “the Spirit is good” but the “body is evil”. Whether identifying as heterosexual, nonbinary, gay, lesbian, trans or “OtherWise”, our modern messengers share with us their creative, grounded lives, their wisdom and their many ways of healing this brokenness, as well as how they have moved beyond the constraining, stereotypic “boxes” in which society has placed most people. A recurring theme in this process of integration and wholeness is the restorative role of the arts, including dance, music, poetry and a love of nature—all of which find a richly expressive place in the film.
